Alphabet Soup

A- Available or Single – Nope. I’m sorry, my brother, but you will have to get your own.

B- Best Friends – Justin and Joe, who I never see any more.

C- Cake or Pie – Chocolate Raspberry torte from Sweet Indulgence… or cheesecake… or a good apple pie… although blueberry is nice too. But I’m really not much of a dessert person.

(I was going to provide a link to Sweet Indulgence here, but frankly their website looks like ass. C'mon, it's 2007. There's no excuse for that. No link for you!)

D – Drink of Choice – Lemonade, as long as it’s real. That powdered crap tastes as much like lemons as Pledge does. When it comes to alcohol, I’ll have a good beer, thanks.

E- Essential Item – Try to take away my Mac and you die.

F- Favourite Colour – Black. Everything should come with a matte black option.

G- Gummi Bears or Worms – Da Bears.

H- Hometown – Charleston, Illinois. In case you were thinking of visiting, don’t bother. It sucks. I did my time and got the hell out.

I- Indulgence – Cappuccino, although I don’t indulge it nearly often enough. In my wallet I have one credit card, one ATM card, and a debit card from my local coffee shop.

J- January or February – January. You’ve made it through the holidays and have a bit of a breather before the winter doldrums really set in. February just sucks.

K- Kids – Two. One of each. Teenagers. Oy.

L- Life is incomplete without – Fun. You’ve got one shot at this, and then you’re done, so you had better have fun while you’re doing it.

M- Marriage Date – Late May, in the Walled Garden at Allerton.

N- Number of Siblings? – Three: one brother, two sisters. I’m the baby.


O- Oranges or Apples? – Apple.

P- Phobias/Fears – About the only one that I haven’t overcome is needles. I still have to look away when I get a shot.

Q- Favourite Quote – “The sky over the port was the color of a television set tuned to a dead channel.” – William Gibson

I think it’s really evocative, and (as I’ve mentioned before) I love that it now means exactly the opposite of what it meant when it was written.

R- Reasons to smile – A well-struck goal, friends, and a weekend without responsibilities.

S- Season – Fall suits my temperament best, but I hate them all when I’m in them. I should move to San Diego where they don’t have seasons.

T- Tag 3 People – Flannery, Dale, and Beckeye.

U- Unknown Fact About Me – I hate talking on the phone.

V- Vegetable You Hate – Zucchini. Did you know that zucchini is latin for “Why did I grow this again?”

W- Worst Habit – I have no bad habits. They’re endearing. No? If I have to pick one it would be procrastination.

X- X-rays You've Had – Pretty much all of them. Like Johnny, I was a pretty rough and tumble kid, but I probably got most of them when I was in a pretty serious car accident in Jr. High.

Y- Your Favourite Foods – The spicier the better. I love a good curry. I also like sushi.


Z- Zodiac – Gemini
